a collaborative project
Men have fought in wars, have written books, have invented a lot of things, have researched on different phenomena, have explored the world, have composed music ... However, unfortunately, we do not know what women have done, even though they have lived on Earth together for the same time as men. Has the Earth swallowed the work women have done?
Ask your students to say a researcher’s or a writer’s name. Surely, they will only mention men. If we look for celebrities in jobs such as cookery and hairdressing that have traditionally been female, women´s name will be difficult to hear.
A lot of teachers try to make their students raise awareness of this “invisibility”. Teachers are making a great effort in their schools to make known the work that women have done. The aim of this collaborative project is to “join forces” to make a large collection of posters that we want to disseminate. Would you like to take part in this project?
If you want to participate with your students, fill out the following questionnaire and send us the your students' posters. Together, we will create a great virtual space to shine a light on women and make them visible.
